Our Neuroradiology Team offers the latest and safest techniques specializing in comprehensive screening, diagnosis, and treatment of spine disease or injury through using the following imaging procedures including Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Myelography.
Procedures
CTA CT uses a special x-ray technique to
obtain multiple images from different angles and then joins them
together using advanced computer technology to show 2 dimensional and
even 3 dimensional images of the spine.
MRI
MRI uses a
combination of common radio waves and a magnetic field to obtain
remarkably detailed images of the spine, including the spinal cord. MRI
images of the neck and spine are clearer and more detailed than other
imaging methods, enabling the detection of abnormalities that might be
obscured by bone on a CT or x-ray.
Myelogram
The purpose of a
myelogram is to evaluate the spinal cord and nerve roots for
displacement or compression. In most cases, myelography, is used when
other studies have failed to yield enough information to confirm a
diagnosis. Myelogram is excellent in evaluating the presence of
arthritic bone spurs, narrowing of the spinal cord, or malformation of
the spine.
